CAD CAM Monthly eNewsletter

In the interest of efficiency, Intelligent Fluid Solutions used on-demand design, CFD, and optimization software at dezineforce.com to create...

Until recently, simulation would lag detailed design because 3D models did not exist until designers finished the CAD models required for simulation. To break this chicken-or-egg dependency...

Probably nothing gets shop personnel cursing faster than trying to machine Inconel 718. The hard alloy rapidly chews through cutting tools. Casting Inconel is...

The design of devices such as ink-jet nozzles and piezoelectric fuel injectors and the control of these devices, depending on their operating conditions, demand an in-depth understanding of multiphase flow. Of interest are the...

Back in the 1940s, economist Milton Friedman was part of the war effort. He performed statistical studies on high-temperature alloys for jet engines.

It started innocently enough during a late-night online poker game. A flashing sign claimed I could get a free flat-screen TV just by clicking a little pink button.

Probably nothing gets shop personnel cursing faster than trying to machine Inconel 718. The hard alloy rapidly chews through cutting tools.

In last month's e-newsletter, I waxed poetic about a stone sculpture made up of intersecting circular forms that lay in different axial planes. The sculpture was designed in 3D CAD and then sent to China to be carved out with a waterjet.

3D CAD has is pushing the envelope of how artists create. For example, the recent AU in Las Vegas showcased a Bruce Beasley sculpture comprising intersecting circular forms that lay in many different axial planes.

Recently, I was invited to follow a fellow CAD colleague on Twitter. The microblog lets you send brief messages of 140 characters or less called "Tweets."
